Cranfield Road, Lower End

Believed to originate from the 1600s and occupying the site of the historic Black Horse Tavern, Black Horse Cottage is one of Wavendon's most intriguing and characterful homes. Rich in local heritage and retaining a wealth of period charm, the property has been thoughtfully adapted over generations to create an impressive family residence offering more than 3,000 sq ft of flexible accommodation.

The original cottage remains the heart of the home, where quarry-tiled floors, exposed reclaimed timbers reputedly sourced from historic ship tankers, and original fireplaces fitted with contemporary log-burning stoves provide a constant reminder of the property's fascinating past. These character features sit comfortably alongside modern conveniences, creating a home that is both practical and atmospheric.

The accommodation centres around a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a traditional oil fired Aga, ceramic butler sink, integrated dishwasher, washing machine and microwave, together with ample space for an American-style fridge freezer. The kitchen naturally connects with a series of reception rooms, creating an excellent flow for both everyday family life and entertaining.

The house itself offers three bedrooms together with a variety of reception spaces, whilst a substantial connected annexe addition, constructed approximately fifty years ago, has transformed the property into a highly adaptable five-bedroom residence. The annexe now provides additional bedrooms, bathrooms and living accommodation, making it ideal for multi-generational living, dependent relatives, older children seeking independence, visiting guests or home-working requirements.

Altogether the property provides five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two cloakrooms and five reception areas, allowing exceptional flexibility rarely found in homes of this character.

Outside, Black Horse Cottage enjoys mature and well-established gardens offering a high degree of privacy. Expansive lawns, established planting and secluded seating areas create a wonderful setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment. To the front, a generous driveway provides extensive parking for numerous vehicles.

Situated within the highly desirable village of Wavendon, the property enjoys the best of both worlds; a peaceful semi-rural setting steeped in history yet within easy reach of Woburn Sands, Central Milton Keynes, mainline rail services to London, Cranfield University and the M1 motorway.

Combining over four centuries of heritage with generous modern accommodation, Black Horse Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historical significance in one of Buckinghamshire's most sought-after locations.
